Removed, being absent-minded (10)
I believe the answer is:
abstracted
I believe this is a double definition.
'removed' is the first definition.
('abstracted' can be a synonym of 'removed')
'absent-minded' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'being' is the link.
(Other definitions for abstracted that I've seen before include "Taken out" , "inattentive" , "Took off without permission" , "miles away" , "Summarised -- lacking concentration" .)
